In heraldry, the skull is a symbol of mortality and a reminder that death comes to all living things and life is short so make now matter.

- wax seal charm metal - sterling silver (.925 silver)
- photographed with a US dime and a one inch ruler for scale

Impressed from a beautiful gemstone wheel wax seal, that dates back to the Georgian era (1714 - 1830) and shown in the photo but not available for purchase.

*of historical note - it's written in the old Latin alphabet style when the shape of the letter V represented both the vowel U and the consonant V.

Impressed with history!

Here is the entire epitaph from a tombstone in the Howff Graveyard in Dundee, Scotland:
Remember man as you pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so must you be,
Remember man that you must die.
